wake up

The view from my window just three days ago, and now it's raining. So this is kind of a note to self. 

Reminds me of this song, which I used to listen to aaaallll the time. I don't anymore, but it IS a great and very morning fresh song!

Summer Anytime Soon?

I'm generally not a summer-person. I think it's so stressful, since you are actually able to be anywhere, which makes me feel that not only can I; I should be everywhere aaaaall the time!

Also, I thought I would never miss summer again after the hottest 5 weeks in Japan last year. But now, alas, I do.  So now I'm reminiscing about some good sommer times.

1 + 2 + 3: Flo and Joy from Berlin visited us in Copenhagen, so we took them to the beach and took them to one of the many festivals here in Copenhagen during the summer.

4: Ice coffee in Matsuyama, Japan, beautifully served with the funniest sugar gel. I never really got the idea with this, especially because I don't use sugar in my coffee. But I did eat them every time, hoping they might taste of something different. They didn't, but we had tons of ice coffee, so I had a lot of sugar gel.

5: Thordis and I made a radio show about Roskilde Festival at the university radio, so we went there some time in early June to check it out before it's taken over by tents and drunken people. Calm before the storm. Lovely.

My Neighbourhood

Thursday was a perfect day for a walk outside - snow, sun, birds in trees; I could almost imagine them whistling... But of course they didn't, and tomorrow everything is probably grey again, so let's enjoy it on film at least!

Kiki's corner is a fantastic café, I presume or hope or imagine; I never had the chance to go there, since it closes at 10 pm (and opens at 10 am), and it's definitely not a place for coffee! Alas, one of these days...

There is also lots of cranes and smoke and pipes producing smoke, which I like very much. Don't know why, just do. Maybe my mother should have bought more cranes for me, when I was a kid?

The sign on top of the hot dog stand is a favourite of mine - it's really not translatable (at all!), but here goes:

"The court has thou declared,
of my sausages,
you will never get tired"

Have a fantastic weekend!
